You shouldn't have to choose between deep inner work and making a living from it.

You follow your intuition every single day and still do nothing meaningful with it

You can hold space better than most therapists and still not know how to turn it into a living

You can have the biggest realization of your life and still have no one who gets it

You can build a full practice and still feel like something's missing from your work

You have the gift. We give you the method.

Where Somatics and Psychology Meet

Understand how early and inherited patterns shape the nervous system & psyche - and how to release them from the body.

We Don't Talk About Emotions. We Move Them.

Most approaches focus on what's visible — tension, fatigue and stress. We work at the level where deep change begins, removing what blocks your nature and accessing your body's intelligence.

What You've Always Done Naturally, Done Professionally

Our mission is not to just teach you a method, but to help you develop your very own approach to facilitation, based on your unique skills, your intuition and your life journey.

Healing Yourself Is the Curriculum

You can only bring your clients as you’ve gone yourself. Besides the hours of content, this training focuses on doing your own somatic shadow work to guide clients with therapeutic precision.

Ashley Velvet Frost

Ten years ago, I was sleeping 16 hours a day. Sometimes it was so bad — you could light my room on fire and I wouldn’t be able to get up.

I had tried breathwork. Therapy. Embodiment. Nothing worked. Now add the chronic pain of Fibromyalgia and an empty bank account on top — a recipe for hell on earth.

It wasn’t until my mentor said: ‘Ashley, what you’re feeling is repressed anger.’ That changed everything. I learned to release my emotions instead of repressing them — and built the method I wish I’d had from the start.

Tim Thiele

I remember waking up at 6am, thinking I’m going insane. I remember the hospital nurse I talked to one hour later saying “It’s not schizophrenia — it’s a panic disorder.” And I remember thinking that I couldn’t go on living like this.

I realised that the fear in my panic was teaching me something I needed to learn. I wasn’t healing my emotions. I was healing my relationship to them.

That insight changed the direction of my life. Over the last 7 years, I’ve trained and coached 600+ people in body-focused processes — and became the lead teacher and co-founder of the Emotional Release Academy.

Jannick Apitz

I spent years stuck in my head, disconnected from my body. Therapy alone didn’t change that. What did was learning to feel what I had been avoiding since childhood — the anger, the grief, all of it.

That discovery sent me down a ten-year path. I trained as an Emotional Release Facilitator, studied psychedelic integration, and supported 300+ clients on their way back to their body.

I helped creating the Emotional Release Academy because I saw too many people stuck in the same loop — understanding their pain intellectually without ever releasing what was holding it in place.

Healing means becoming whole.

That’s what I teach here.

Is this for you?

Yes:

  • Therapists and coaches who are tired of sessions that stay in the head
  • Bodyworkers who want to guide their clients into emotional processes
  • The person everyone already opens up to
  • You're deep in your own healing and ready to make it a skill
  • You're done figuring this out alone through books and YouTube
  • No prior experience needed — just the willingness to show up

No:

  • You want a certificate to hang on the wall without doing your own process
  • You're not ready to be seen, challenged, and honest
  • You want a script, not a practice
  • You can't commit to showing up weekly for six months

Common Questions

  • No. Some students are therapists with 20 years of practice. Others have zero formal training and simply know this is what they want to do. The curriculum meets you where you are.

  • Expect around 6 hours. Saturday teaching call, Wednesday Q&A or embodiment session, Thursday practice lab, plus your own practice time.

  • All teaching calls are recorded. Practice labs and embodiment sessions are live only - that's where the real learning happens, so we encourage you to prioritize those. Calls are structured so that you can join even if you are behind on content.

  • Yes. You graduate as a certified ERA Level 1 Practitioner. Many students begin working with clients during the training.

  • Fully online. Live sessions via Zoom. Students join from all over the world.

  • English. Our instructors also speak German, Dutch, but all sessions are taught in English.

  • Level 1 teaches the full method and certifies you for online facilitation. Level 2 is an in-person training where you learn hands-on bodywork and how to work directly with the body through touch.

  • No. ERA bridges what many single-modality trainings miss. Students with prior training often say it's the piece that ties everything together.

  • You're part of the ERA community for life. Ongoing practice labs, peer support, and supervision. Many graduates go on to Level 2 or start their own practice right away.

  • Yes. You receive the official ERA Level 1 Emotional Release Practitioner certification upon completion.

  • Yes. We provide professional invoices. Many students expense the training through their employer or claim it as a business cost.

  • Complete everything, show up fully, and if it doesn't land for you, we keep working with you until it does.

  • Book a free discovery call with Hugo. No pressure — just a conversation about whether this training is the right fit for you.
